Backup Destination and Operation for RMAN: The management server has three backup points
available for RMAN backups. RMAN backup destinations are:
• On Microsoft Windows:
%ORA_HOME%\rman\current
%ORA_HOME%\rman\backup1
%ORA_HOME%\rman\backup2
• On UNIX systems:
$ORACLE_HOME/rman/current
$ORACLE_HOME/rman/backup1
$ORACLE_HOME/rman/backup2
The schedule backup writes in backup1 and backup2 folder in rotation and save now backup from
the management server keeps overwriting in current folder. See ” Architectural Overview of RMAN
Backups ” on page 238 for more information about RMAN backups.
Database Mode
To facilitate the HOT RMAN Backup, you must change the database mode to archive mode, as
described in ” Setting the Archive Mode ” on page 248. The default database archive destination is
\oracle\oradata\APPIQ\archive on Microsoft Windows and
$ORACLE_HOME/oradata/APPIQ/archive on UNIX systems. This destination can be modified
as described in ” Changing the Archive Destination ” on page 251. Depending on the input/output
of the data, archiving can be in the range of 2.5 GB to 10 GB per day. The archive folder gets
cleaned during on a scheduled RMAN backup.
You can change the database mode to run in no archive mode with RMAN backup disabled, as
described in ” Setting the Archive Mode ” on page 248. When you change the database to no
RMAN HOT
backup The backup is referred to as
being “hot” because the
management server is still
running while the backup is
occurring. You can configure
the RMAN backup to run by
default. See ” Scheduling
RMAN Hot Backups of the
Database ” on page 241.
